PPR closed sales · size & time adjusted · no asking prices used
Methodology
Closed sales time-adjusted to current market · size-weighted where floor area available · no asking prices or agent estimates used.
How adjustments work
- —Older sales inflated to current market level so stale data doesn't skew bands
- —Similar-sized properties weighted more heavily where floor area is known
- —Local price trends factored in when sufficient data exists; no artificial uplift otherwise
- —All figures from registered closed sales only — no asking prices, no agent estimates
Local Market Notes
Property Quality
BER Rating Opportunity: With a B BER rating, the property offers good energy efficiency, but upgrading to an A rating could further enhance its market appeal and reduce future energy costs by an estimated €800-€1,200 annually compared to D-rated properties.
Details
- Site Property Mismatch: The property is listed as a 'Site' with 0m² size, yet has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, creating a significant mismatch that suggests potential planning or construction ambiguities impacting its quality assessment.
- Value Optimization Potential: Given the 'Site' designation and lack of size data, significant value could be unlocked by clarifying its development potential and ensuring any planned construction aligns with market demand for 2-bed, 2-bath dwellings in the area.
- Hypothesis: The discrepancy between a 'Site' property type and the presence of 2 beds/2 baths, alongside a B BER rating, strongly suggests this listing may represent a plot with planning permission for a house, or a property requiring substantial renovation/completion, meaning its true quality and value hinge entirely on the stage of development and associated costs.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Piltown's location outside Dublin means limited direct access to urban transport; the nearest train station would likely be Kilkenny (approx. 20km), requiring a significant commute and multiple transfers for Dublin-based services.
Details
- Local Facilities Access: Piltown offers basic local amenities including shops and a post office, but access to larger supermarkets, specialist retail, and major healthcare facilities like St. Luke's Hospital would necessitate travel to larger towns such as Kilkenny.
- Rural Lifestyle Appeal: The property's location offers a rural lifestyle with access to countryside walks and a quieter pace of life, which is a key appeal for buyers seeking to escape urban density, though it comes at the cost of immediate amenity access.
- Hypothesis: The value proposition of Gortrush, Piltown, lies heavily in its rural charm and potential for development rather than immediate amenity access; for a buyer, understanding the specific planning permissions and the cost to develop this 'Site' into a 2-bed, 2-bath dwelling will be more critical than its proximity to current local services.
